When Avowed was first revealed, it drew a lot of comparisons to a game like Skyrim. While there are some similarities, such as playing in third-person or unlocking new abilities, the Living Lands are not nearly as expansive as that other open-world game. You will need plenty of tips and tricks to survive, but getting around is one of the first problems you will want to overcome. Quests will take you back and forth across the zones, so fast travel will make your life much easier. Here's how to unlock and use fast travel.

How to fast travel

Fast travel can be done as soon as you unlock your first fast travel point. These can be either fast travel beacons, which are purple icons on your map, or campsites. All you need to do is approach one to unlock it as a new fast travel point.

Step 1: Once you have found a fast travel point, pause the game and go to your map screen.

Step 2: Highlight either a beacon or campsite that you wish to travel to.

Step 3: Confirm your selection and you will be whisked away to that location.

There are some areas and moments during the game, mainly in dungeons, where fast travel is disabled. Otherwise, you can utilize it whenever you wish.

When traveling to campsites, you also have the option to travel to the campsite, restore your HP, talk to companions, and do other tasks there, but return to your original location when leaving camp instead of moving to that campsite location. This is handy if you want to talk to do some quick upgrades or get new dialogue without having to travel back to wherever you currently are.

How to respec in Avowed

Avowed is a very flexible game in terms of letting you use any weapon or piece of armor you want. Having a variety of offensive options is one of the best tips and tricks we can give you, but skills are slightly different. You will be investing points into your stats, to unlock abilities, and unlock companion abilities as you earn XP and level up. These skills will completely change how your game plays both in and out of combat, but you don't have to stick with whatever direction you picked first if you end up regretting it. Here's how you can respec your character in Avowed.

Where to find the cartographer in Dawntrail in Avowed

After the tutorial teaches you the essential tips and tricks for playing Avowed, you will be set free in the Living Lands. Almost right away you will encounter a man named Sanza who has an important side quest for you to locate a missing cartographer. While you might be eager to complete the main story, side quests are important for unlocking new abilities and exploring the world. Unlike most side quests, however, this one only gives you a vague written description of where the cartographer is instead of a marker on your map to travel to. Even though each zone in Avowed isn't massive, there is still a lot of ground to cover when looking for a single person. Here's where you can find the cartographer in Dawntrail.
Where to find the missing cartographer

The side quest only says that the cartographer should be located near some cliffs on the east side of Dawntrail, which is quite a big place to search. The area you're looking for is called Usher's Hand and is directly east of Paradis. If you go out the eastern exit and head north, you will find it no problem.

How to break down equipment in Avowed

Making sure your equipment is as powerful as possible is an obvious but essential tip and trick to remember while playing Avowed. Your skills will play a large part in combat, especially when you rebind them for easy access, but your armor and weapons will be the most important factors in how tough the game is to beat. Upgrading your gear is the best way to keep up with the difficulty, but it isn't long before you hit walls where you need much more materials than you have to get to the next tier. Breaking down extra weapons and armor you find will be the best way to get your hands on more of these precious materials, and you can do it right from the menu. Here's how.
